I am copying this from my post in nexon's main forums with the additions from other users.
Hello Zyrus from Alexina here, Rank 1 enchanter. I noticed on our server almost no one ranks the enchant skill. I wanted to post a simple guide to it and also get adds from the top enchanters on other servers.
Enchanting
So you've decided to take up enchanting. Great skill with incredible benefits. It can also be very very frustrating. So I decided to write a good guide to help you rank fast and easier.
Before you start
Before you start to rank enchant you should really get as close to 200 intelligence base as you can. Here is my recommended list.
1. Musical Knowledge R 6-+50 Int 14 AP
2. Composing Rank 7- + 45 int 33 AP
3. Fire R1 - +52 int 109 AP
4. ice r1- +52 int 92
5. Campfire R 8- 0 You need this. not optional. 11 AP
And there you have it 200 int. You can also substitute some int enchants and titles.
I also recommend you be able to make over 2 Million a week in order to rank this fast. You can slow rank and do it all for free but....you can do it alot faster if you have about 10 Mil+ to spend on it (potentially 3rd most expensive skill to rank to r1..estimated around 35 mil)
Items you'll need
Holywater - try to stock about 100-500 of these at a time. you'll go through them fast.
Mana herbs- same as Holywater
Sunlight herbs- This is for entrusting of burns. Good to have about 3-4 stacks around at all times.
Tents- Save yourself time and effort. Setup a tent. Fire never goes out :D.
Tailoring kits- 1x1 space and great for using and reburning.
Alby runs = you/guildys/friends/ people you hire to do multiple runs for you.
Rank Novice
1. umm...Equip powder...rank....lol.
Rank F 1AP
1. Run alby normal 30 times.
2. Enchant those onto tailor kits.
3. If you need more exp to rank burn some of them. You should get 35% burns with your rank A+ campfire. Save rest for next rank.
Rank E
1. Go to healer and buy and drink +10 stam or hp pots until you have 0 int from pot poisening
2. Run Alby normal 40 times.
3. Enchant those onto tailor kits. Put in bank for later.
4. Run ciar beginner 20 times. Don't forget to pick the mana herbs.
5. Burn the items you get from drops and enchest. Enchant scrolls onto tailor kits if possible. Sell the rest. you should be able to rank now.
Rank D
1. Run Alby normal 110 times.
2. Enchant those onto tailor kits. Put in bank for later.
3. Save 40 stacks of HW and Mana herbs in bank.
Rank C
1. Run Alby normal 195 times.
2. Enchant those onto tailor kits. Put in bank for later.
3. Save 40 stacks of HW and Mana herbs in bank.
Rank B
1. Run alby normal 400 times.
2. Enchant onto tailor kits. Save for later. (yes you need lots of bank space)
3. Successfully burn 20 of those kits.
4. Save 40 stacks of HW and Mana herbs in bank.
Rank A First really hard rank.
1. Get 20 successful burns.
2. Run Alby normal 450 times.
3. Enchant onto tailor kits.
4. Burn those and re-enchant (do not use the ones in bank)
5. Get another 100 stacks of HW and Mana Herbs. (since you used most of them (trust me this will make life easier later)
Rank 9
1. Run alby normal 250 times. burn and re-enchant till you rank. Touch not the bank kits.
2. Get another 100 stacks of HW and Mana Herbs.
Rank 8 Hardest rank so far...
1. Ok if you were smart you should have alot of kits in the bank. Time to burn all of those. Re-enchant and burn again. You should be close to ranking with what you saved so far. Doubtful youll need more than 200 runs of alby.
2. After you rank get 100 stacks of HW and Mana's ready.
Rank 7
1. 550 runs in Alby normal.
2. Enchant onto kits burn and re-enchant.
3. By now you should have a handle on your mana and HW supply.
Rank 6
1. 500 runs in Alby normal. (higher burn rate less runs needed)
2. Enchant onto kits burn and re-enchant.
Rank 5 Congratulations you've made it. This is the key rank.
At rank 5 I started my enchanting service. I did all free enchants and charged 5k per burn, with customers supplier materials.
After rank 5 I continued to hire alby runners and burn and reburn with same method until rank 3.
At rank 3 I held a huge contest giving away over 15 million in cash and prizes. This got me to r1.
Adv Tips
1. Posting a sign saying "Hiring Alby runners 5k per run" gets the most response. Your first 2-4 days doing it will seem like a failure but after a while all kinds of people will run for you. Also get the mana herbs and powders from your runners "as part of the deal". I also recommend buy 5 10k gold bags and filling them and placing in pets. If you have alot of runners they tend to meet every 5 runs. This is faster and you look pro for having it ready.
2. If you have an exceptional runner give them a bonus (item, money, dye amp) and you'll have them running everynight. Get enough of these running and you can get more than you can handle.
3. Set-up a tent near ferghus. You can have your runners meet you in the tent and burn and enchant right there. Fire never ends and your a few steps from Nora to buy more kits.
4. Hire Guildy's. They need money too. I always offer a chance for guildy's first.
5. Find good HW and mana herb suppliers and dont let them get away. Nasedo is the best for HW. I get mana's from about 10 different people. Wish I had one that was more into it.
6. Dont be afraid (after Rank 8) to charge for burns and or enchants. 1-3k is fair. You get no exp from them and they take alot of time. This will keep the casual burners away and put a small amount of money back into your pocket.
7. Use your skill to make money. The easiest items sell better and for more profit. For example a Raven glad 8/4 (smithed 17 dura) sells for 450k where as a spike broad (much better) sells for 1.2 mil. The raven can be made easily for free. You can make 6-10 ravens before you can even make 1 spike.
8. Make contact with guildmasters and offer your services to them. Make deals like "free services when I rank to 5 if....."(make it big enough to warrant that).
The most important tip
You will fail. You will kill items. You will destroy things that people worked hard for. Its going to happen. Now don't take it personal, its an algorythm not you. If you have 200+ int and good skill levels there is nothing more you can do (luck may help, unproven). If people are mean to you about a fail let them know that they are free to find other people to help them but that its not your fault. If you continue to act this way I will not help you anymore. You cannot be a door mat with this skill. People will hate you for it and others will love you. The pro's for the most part all accept fails. Apologize for the fail and show empathy but in no way take it as "your failt" or you will quit mabi. This is not a skill for the frail who cannot take harsh words.
Well thats how I ranked my skill. :oops:
Next section Added By Jaq rank 5 enchanter on Alexina Server:
The rush way to get to r5 enchant:
Lots of bank space, at least 19 tabs. 13-14 for enchanted tailor kits. 3 for mana herbs. 2 for holy water. I don't know if this is possible by having multiple accounts and using them as storage as that will take time for trading, unless you have someone helping you.
From ranks F-9 save as much kits as possible and only burn to satisfy the training. There's no need to burn and reenchant more than what's necessary. Arrange the tailor kits so that you know where the higher rank enchant one's are and the lower ranks one's are, which will be helpful for rank 8.
By rank 8 you should have 1300+ kits saved, 1300+ of mana herbs, and 1300+ of holywater.. This is the beginning of the hard part as this will take hours(6+ hours). Set up a camp and start burning the higher rank enchanted kits to the lower ones because higher ranked enchants last longer to avoid any expired scrolls. You will need 600 successful burns as the magic powder extraction training will certainly be completed by then(at least 1276 burns to pass this rank). Burning will take 2hours+. Save the enchant scrolls for rank 7.
At rank 7 it is recommended to have 0 int as it will save you enchant scrolls for rank 6 by completing the fails. About 465+ successful enchants will be needed to pass this rank. This will take about 3 hours+. So you will have 130+ enchant scrolls saved for r6.
At rank 6 you should be getting tired of this because I was. So just enchant the extra enchant scrolls with 200+ int and complete the fail portion of the rank whenever. This is when you start burning and reenchanting. Do so until you have nothing left. This will probably take you well into the training for r5. Always have holy water and mana herbs in stock.
Well this is how trained enchant from r8-r5 in two days. I'm sure there are some flaws and not many would not take this approach, but it took me where I wanted go.
Thanks to Angelwing for this idea.
Next section is by Jahrakal from Alexina rank 5 enchanter:
I have recently used both Zyrus and Jaq's method to hit rank 5 Enchanting in less than a week.
Here are my additional inputs:
1) Buy the cheap Fireball pages (5&6 are the only ones I bought) whenever you see them (I bought them at 5k ea). This is not a waste of money, but an investment. Be ready to throw down a few mil down the drain if you want to rank this skill.
2) Save all the enchanted items you get from dungeons, and burn them to pass your early ranks instead of wasting your precious tailoring kits. I personally collected a lot of Victorious/Raven/Fox/Golem/Falcon/Healer items and more often than not I ended up burning them and selling them to make a lot of gold to aid your Alby Runner hiring process.
3) As Zyrus suggested, give the runners bonus. I gave out Dye Ampoules, enchanted items (not totally garbage, but actually usable ones), extra 10k check, etc. You need to treat the runners well, as running Alby Normal is very tedious and annoying.
4) Do NOT start burning your kits (at rank 8) 6 hours before the server maintenance. I did this and almost got owned.
I did the first 700 Alby runs by myself, and another 700 done by Alby runners. This made me realize just how much effort Enchant training takes, and Kudos to all the rank 1 Enchanters. They take the title of best grinders in game.
Thanks again to Zyrus, Jaq, and Angelwing. Proud to see such an epic guide coming from my own server. Go Alexina!
Well mabination I hope this guide inspires more people to rank this epic skill.
